I'm beginning to think your purpose here is disrupt the forum and attempt to sow discord.
Dude- I've been here longer than you (and posted a lot more too).
You're just in the group of folks who attack anyone who presents any facts that could be read even slightly sidewise as at ALL critical of tesla or elon in ANY way as some batshit TSLAQ nonsense.
If you need to be irrational in defending the company you can't be rational in your investing decisions.

Elon never said you can't trust "his word",
Yes, he did.
He explained why his guesses tend to be so bad- and why it's stupidity- not malice- behind that.
(Ignorance is probably a better word- he's far from stupid, but often doesn't know how hard something is when he makes a date prediction about it- but he used stupidity)

Elon Musk said:
People should not ascribe to malice that which can easily be explained by stupidity... So- so it's like, just because I'm, like, dumb at - at predicting dates does not mean I am untruthful. I don't know- I - we've - I never made a mass-produced car. How am I supposed to know with precision when it's gonna get done?
Now replace "made a mass-produced car" with "made finished full self driving" and the quote stands up exactly the same- and agrees with exactly what I've been telling you.
that makes it sound like a promise. He has said his time estimates tend to be optimistic but that he's working on it.
Please drop it (or at least take it somewhere more appropriate).
Someone
else cited his recent "FSD REAL SOON NOW" video as evidence for higher stock prices.
I replied pointing out his promise dates on that topic are famously, historically, hilariously wrong and have been for years- so you probably should NOT price "FSD done" into your stock plans based on what he said.
if you wanna live in a fantasy land where every pie in the sky remark from Elon is 100% fact and you should base your financial choices on- you do you I guess.
But if you can't be factual and rational that's gonna turn out poorly for you.
